Dennis Stanley Galitz, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed the convictions for unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of marijuana, holding that the appellant’s appeal was properly before this Court and that the search of his person was lawful. It further held that the evidence admitted at trial was not the fruit of an illegal search and that the harmless error doctrine applied. The Court also clarified the statutory requirements for appealing a guilty plea under Article 44.02, V.A.C.C.P.
